My sister is a nurse anesthetist (CRNA). She cleared just short of 300k last year working a lot of overtime. She did pay out the butt for mal-practice insurance though.
Easiest Dr job there is and they make more than lots of others Dr. Go figure lol
It's a skill where serious danger to someone is involved. Too much or too little...it has to be just right.
NVM...
You people act like you just need two years of junior college. It's much more complicated than that.
First, you need 4 years of college. Then you need another 4 years of graduate education leading to a degree in medicine. You're not even done yet, because you need to complete 4 more years in an anaesthesiology residency.
That's 12 years of school! And I have a hunch the workload is more than what most of us are used too.

In my next life I'm coming back as an Anesthesiologist
To be fair, they can probably lose everything they have if they screw up even once.
Nonsense.
In your next life, karmic law dictates that you be downgraded to a ferret.

50 years a robot could do it.
In 50 years 80% of the jobs around today will be gone or completely different.
My dad was an anesthesiologist, so I, of course, didn't consider it. His brother went for the same specialty and they were a team mostly at one hospital, and very well liked by everyone there, AFAIK, and of course the ones who mattered for their success were the surgeons who chose to have them on-hand. They made very good money but weren't really wealthy.
Uh, there's more to it than putting an ether mask over the patient's mouth and twiddling your thumbs. It's the anesthetist's job to keep the patient alive. The surgeon does not enjoy going out to the waiting room and announcing that the operation was a success but the patient died.
Of course, anesthesiology today is a much different field than it was when my dad got into it.
Probably because my older brother (only older sibling, and older than me by almost 6 years) was already halfway through medical school when I got to the university. I just thought I had to take my life in a different direction, didn't know exactly where. I majored in subjects I was really good at -- the mathematical sciences.Why didn't you consider it?
Lol, you think nurses will work for a discount? They're all unionized and will go on strike the second they dont get their mandated 10% annual raise and pension paid off. Nurses around here easily clear 2-300K with OT.
